Well, normally I'm one of the anti-eb crowd, but come mid year sale (which started today), even they have some awesome deals.

Just picked up Condemned 2 brand new for $50, Lost (dont know if its good or not) for $40, and Stranglehold on 360 for $35.

They've got a full list on their website - www.ebgames.com.au/

So, get in while you can.. got some good deals this year.

They have Red Steel listed as $99, and they give half price off it.

Does that mean they are actually selling it for $99 still?

lol, so it was originally $198? Haha.. Yeah man, half that price.

If you look at the the last digit of the prices, .94 means half price, .93 means $30 off, and .92 means $20 off.

Also, whats up with some of the pre-owned games ONLY being $1-$2 cheaper than the brand new ones rofl?

I will never ever shop at EB Games, no matter what. Bunch of rip off merchants.

EB do have occasionly great bargains.

the vertical stand for the ps3 that eb sells isnt a ps3 cooler...the salesguy told me it was a cooler when i purchased the console,and bag along with it...
it just holds your ps3 firmly....has a nice blue looking light around your ps3 at the base, uses 1usb port,but gives out 2...so kinda works as a 1 extra port usb hub too....thats all about it.
I whined for it not having the cooling thingy, but i ll use it till i decide to buy one with a cooling fan.

why dont they have nice deals on the burnout

yea the horizontal one is the one with the stand, i have the Vertical one and personally i this the vertically one is better for air-intake and circulation, thats why it doesn't need a cooler. Where is the horizontal one need the cooler because it heats up faster when horizontal.

the only one i saw in eb was the vertical one with the lights and usb hub which i have...couldnt find a horizontal one anywhere....
but well... keeping the console vertical looks good.
and i guess those vertical with fans were designed for ppl like me... there are times when my consoles stay on whole day....24 hours...or at times even more..

thats the same stand you have for your ps3 as mine..
